Blog 159 – Conform to Reality
What is possible? What do I not already know? What am I doing (or not doing) that is preventing me from reaching my goals? Ask these questions if you want growth and development. Act on the answers you get. If you make plans and everything comes out just as you intended without adjustment or mistake […]
Blog 158 – Live and Let Die – Ideas
(Inspired by Jordan Peterson) We are different from animals in that we can have ideas. Animals don’t seem to have ideas, they are slaves to their nature and do not exhibit free will, they don’t get an idea and manifest it in the world like creating a constitution, starting a bakery, committing one’s life to […]
Blog 157 – Hey, Can You Lighten Up a Little?
I walked my neighborhood this am stopping at every streetlight and pumping out air squats. Probably looks a little weird, but I’m ok with that. This has become a habit, it’s familiar and it feels good. I knocked out 10 sets and headed over to the hill I sprint each week. I sprint up 105 […]
Blog 156 – Keep On Keepin’ On
I’ve noticed that a bad day can be salvaged or redeemed by simply following through on key goals that I lay out each day as I follow the 365 Commitment process. Getting a few key priorities accomplished each day may not make that day great, but at least those actions add to to the bigger […]
Blog 155 – Innovation and Focus – Life or Death
Innovation means finding new ways of doing things that work better. Often times, most of the time, innovation does not require inventing something totally new and ingenious. Pulling off brand new ideas that actually work is rare and hard. More often, innovation is simply transferring knowledge from another industry, culture, or endeavor toward a goal […]
Blog 154 – Language and Atmosphere
I truly want to change for the better. I’m a bit bored with my old self and part of the reason I have embarked on the 365 Commitment is to actually make changes in my life that are good! Changing is hard, and it’s easy to stay in old patterns. But, following the 365 formula, […]
Blog 153 – Let It Go, Temper Enthusiasm With Discernment
I have to ask myself, am I really learning? Am I really changing for the better? Or am I stubbornly staying the same? The hope and challenge of the 365 Commitment is to change for the better. One thing is for sure, at least this practice makes me take an honest look at myself each […]
Blog 152 – A Good Habit is a Worthy Goal
Just reporting in today on my excercise habits. I’ve managed to actually stick with these so far for all of 2019. I have leveled out at 50 pullups and 100 pushups twice a week. For legs, I’m doing 8 hill sprints at 105 meters, and 100-200 airsquats each week. I’ve leveled off with these numbers […]
Blog 151 – Manifesting Friendship, Generosity, and Next Level Benevolence
Each day when you make your list add the name, or names, of people you can help today. This is one of the foundational principles of the 365 Commitment for good reason. We are deeply social creatures, and friendship is not only based on mutual admiration and goodwill, but mutual trade; a reciprocation of value […]
Blog 150 – Marshal Your Consciousness and Spirit to Create The Best Tomorrow
We are deeply social beings. This fact sets up some needs that must be met if we are to be healthy as possible. For example, we need to play, we need to be heard, we need to be touched, we need friends, and to be part of a group. If we are not experiencing enough […]
